Aunt Betty’s Refrigerator Rolls

byJoan Robinett WilsononMay 7, 2011

When I was young, we always celebrated all of our holidays with my Uncle John and Aunt Betty and kids. My cousins were all older than me and so, so cool – I loved going over there. Also, Aunt Betty was and is a really good cook and I could always count on her baking her fresh, yeasty rolls. The kids grew up, the family expanded and time went on and we no longer shared holidays. But, luckily for me she shared her roll recipe with me. So, it’s a little morsel of the past for me to hang on to.
